Or three roofers slating are not in construction? It's all such a load of bollocks. Just let people crack on. They are taking the piss out of the finance sector and hospitality/retail. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will from the 6th, which is the correct decision with the current low infection rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Construction seems to be defined as major projects employing numerous people at the same time. E.g Prom, Building sites, QB road, Pulrose Bridge. These are CLOSED. Small tradesmen are permitted to work, roofers, builders, gardeners, landscapers It's laughable, it really is. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 2 hours ago, madmanxpilot said: Good point. I was thinking more about it being difficult to prove that you've actually taken it. Unless there is a way for that to happen, I couldn't see those that require proof accepting it. I know some places are accepting either proof you've been vaxed or that you've had a negative test within a day or two. The thing with a negative test however, is how to they prove you've taken it properly also bearing in mind these can be self administered? Never mind whether you've tickled your brain to get a proper sample, but you could for all intents and purposes stick it up your cat's arse and it would come out negative. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am genuinely moved. Thank you. I am very much looking forward to the current lockdowns ending. Especially in the hope that it will at least pause the constant whining from those who refuse to adapt to a world of constant change. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by the activity on the roads in Douglas this morning they will be changing soon. Where we are now seems impossible to maintain. The Govt would now be risking too much to carry on like this as people seem to have made up their own minds. Distinct lack of masks around as well. Have we sold out yet ?

I feel like the public have and I’m the same I’m watching two guys doing a flat roof today they are just cracking on and good on them. apart from kids not in schools and clubs and me not in the office life is pretty much normal for us I would say.....apart from not seeing the in laws (which some people would say makes it even better) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
